À propos de l'auteur
C.M. Worthman is a teacher, father, writer, and champion of youthful brilliance. He has taught for thirty-five-plus years at the middle grades, high school, and university levels. After getting his doctorate from the University of Illinois at Chicago, he landed at DePaul University in Chicago, where he is professor of Middle Grades and Secondary English Education. Over the years, he has developed and led community-based literacy programs, as well as taught an Inside-Out course, "Deconstructing the School to Prison Pipeline," inside Cook County Jail. He has researched and written extensively about adolescents' in and out of school literacy experiences and has published numerous scholarly articles and one ethnography, "Just Playing the Part" Engaging Adolescents in Drama & Literacy (Teachers College Press, 2002). He now focuses on writing middle grade and young adult novels. C.M. is committed to writing narratives with strong, memorable characters and smart plot lines that speak to the complexity of adolescent existence, the power of the imaginative will, and the interdependency of all life. Kid America (Mission Point Press) is only the first of more to come. You can find C.M. in Chicago in classrooms, coffee shops, bookstores, and on the lakefront, running or biking.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Sixteen-year-old Lenny's life has never been good, and there was nothing he could do about it-until the opportunity came to escape.Raised in Chicago by a single mother and coming out of COVID-19 isolation, Lenny is faced with the fallout of Momma's drug conviction. Sent to live with grandparents in rural Illinois, he does what he always does: keeps his mouth shut and makes the best of it. He helps in the garden, mows the yard, takes care of the dog, and is Grams's canning helper. He's always agreeable, even when Paps rails against the government and vaccines. Still, he can't wait until Momma's released and they're back in Chicago. When school starts, Lenny's ready, if only to get out of the house. Any hope for change for the better, however, evaporates when Grams and Paps get COVID. Lenny wants to get them help. "It's no one's business," they say. He's left to care for them and fend off the school attendance lady and a nosy history teacher. That is, until Misty, the sullen blond-haired girl the next farm over, takes an interest in him. She reads him like a book. Then again, Lenny recognizes her family's struggle and that, like him, she has no one to turn to. He knows he can't do anything about any of it, except break the chain linking him to it. This item is printed on demand.
